WASHINGTON (AP) -- Protesters energized by fresh congressional skepticism about the Iraq war demanded a withdrawal of U.S. troops in a demonstration Saturday that drew tens of thousands and brought Jane Fonda back to the streets.

O.K. I've read now that there are hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands. I’m watching, not listening, to C-SPAN. They occasionally pan out so you can see some of the crowd but it really looks like there MIGHT be a couple of thousand MAX!

Anyone have any accurate numbers on this love fest?

[Thombo2]

Pathetic in the extreme.That dried up old fart will do anything to get her face on the screen.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Protesters energized by fresh congressional skepticism about the Iraq war gather together for a late hit"

[AZRepublican]

If I had my way Hanoi Jane been tried for treason years ago.

[Niuhuru]

I whs people woudl stop trying to relive the Vietnam War era. It's over, done with, and we have a much more vicious threat than Communism.

[basil]

Watching C-Span, I'm sure you also saw lots of coverage of the DC freepers and their anti-protest protest/sarc.

I wonder if the freepers were able to gather more than a dozen or so........it's so hard to get conservatives out for something like this. Could be because most of us have jobs and other responsibilities.

I'm looking forward to Kristinn's report.

[beyond the sea]

Will Jane be taking an anti-aircraft gun with her to the demonstration?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Her citizenship should have been voided.

[dighton]

“The usual gang of idiots.”

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

As an organizer, I’d be disappointed. In a country of 275 million only 2000 people showed up. Now that’s a following!

[raftguide]

"That dried up old fart"

I represent that remark!

[raftguide]

"we have a much more vicious threat than Communism"

I would argue that they're one and the same.

[Thombo2]

I agree.

[TADSLOS]

AIM HIGH.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Crusty old lefties reliving their glory days. I wonder if there was enough pot to go around?

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

I’m aiming right between the eyes!

I find it interesting that there were no significant protests for a period, then once the Dems were "swept into power by a growing weariness of the war" there are suddenly "tens of thousands" of people energized to take to the streets.
From what I've seen it is a group of old people attempting to re-live the summer-of-love-and-no-hygeine. Or they have all had a simultaneous bout of senility.

[Theresawithanh]

Numbers at leftie rallies are always multiplied by 10. It's the new, progressive math!

[pacpam]

So much for her apologies for past activities that hurt our troops. Was hollow from the start.

[EagleUSA]

Mindless, bored, anti-American losers who live in a utopian bubble of protective money that isolates their brains from reality. Well let's see how they do fighting Jihadists in the streets of Follywood.

[ishabibble]

This statement is correct. The deplorable behaviour of the new Congress is an open invitation to these weak, cowardly people. Blame Congress First.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

Damn they look old!

[benjamin032]

She is merely the outward manifestation of a much greater disease, kinda like a canker sore.

[Jack Black]

All the fun is Over HERE ... including lots of great pics.

[Jrabbit]

So....Janie didn't cause the death of enough soldiers during Vietnam? She has such talent for bringing aid and comfort to the enemy.

[Mr.Smorch]

The ventriloquist is very happy with them...

[benjamin032]

Oh she is culpable, no doubt. But there are others who give her an audience, tell her she's great, that are more dangerous owing in part to their non-celebrity.

[xarmydog]

More like walking and babbling herpes sores.Like herpes,they never go away,they just have an outbreak now and then.Usually when they need face time for their being on the no call list for acting jobs.Hanoi Jane cry's for sympathy about her dad's being cold towards her should give her a clue about her conduct.I believe he went to his grave with disgust about her actions.I liked Henry.I doubt she did or she would not have impugned her family name.

Moonbats on parade.....Coney Island sideshow comes to D.C......film at 11......

[NoGrayZone]

I can't find it anywhere on tv, did it end already?

[benjamin032]

She doesn't bother me, she is stuck in a hippie feed back loop. What bothers me is the fact that her behavior, and that of those like her, has give moral support to the mass-murders of our time. Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, and Mihn murdered somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 MILLION people while the world stood watch. Now we are chastised for stopping the next mass murderer at a few hundred thousand by some silver spoon idiots.

[Msgt USMC]

Why don't these two old "has-been Skanks", just go buy themselves a Burka, and leave the rest of us alone.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Then that means there are 655K at the rally.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

That's the problem with the entire left.

They haven't realized if these guys get what they want they'll all be walking around in Burkas.

Then they'll be complaining about how they weren't protected and now they have to walk the streets in Burkas.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

That would be be...

Curly, Moe and Larry?

[dighton]

“The usual gang of idiots” was coined by MAD Magazine, jokingly referring (if I recall correctly) to MAD’s own staff.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

I thought you were talking about the three stooges, Jane, Susan and Cindy. Although I haven't seen Cindy, where could she be?

[IronJack]

Fonda, Penn, Sarandon ...

The Usual Suspects.

[Emmett McCarthy]

I wish you hadn't asked that question because someone might put up her picture and my clocks will stop again.

[bannie]

HA! I was watching it with my son. As soon as I saw hanoijane, I told my son, "There's the most popular urinal target ever made." (It's ok...he's 30.)

[JOE43270]

I agree and there are many more saying the same thing.
